1. Open up your weapon that came with the editor, it can be found in "tags\objects\weapons", Also create a new tag for a weapon

2. A monkey could do this part, just copy everything from the pre-existing tag to the new tag.

3. Make sure you click on the drop down's to make sure you get everything copied. I must have missed something...(see later pics)




4. I just copied the zoom from the battle_rifle.weapon tag

5. This is where it gets tricky, make sure you go back and select the trigger after you create it or its going to be a dud. Also make sure you still are coping everything.
You can select any sound that you want for this. I am using a premade one.


6. Save it where the magnum.weapon tag is, Im not sure if you need to but I do that to reduce the chance of failing ingame.

7. After saving create a new item_collection and then link like so.



8. Load up sapian with whatever map you want. I have a map that I test all of my mods on, other than The Clearing.

*looks familiar don't it?*

9. Goto Equipment and place 1 marker (I made 2 custom weapons so thats why I have 2)


10. Package the level and wait for tool to either, 1. Go through and not fail, 2. Poop on you


11. Load the map in Halo 2 Vista
